I know the main focus here is the wife-beating "joke"/advice (which is inexcusable), but I'm wondering why people don't seem more concerned with the idiotic notion that this unfortunate woman is fully expected to be submissive and obedient to the guy as the "head of the house."
According to Pat's expert psychoanalysis, she obviously has behavioral problems, linked to a past where she was a disobedient child and threw tantrums and wanted to slap her father (and here I thought wisdom came with age).
I assume, based on the husband's words, that physical abuse is unlikely to actually happen, but the reality of his (and his preachers', which is the bigger problem) expectations of wifely obedience is the issue here.
That's exactly why I said you all had to hear the whole thing. Amazing.
